Business 2.0: Israel is One of the Top Places to Do Business in the Wired World

If you were asked to list the 12 top cities to do business in the 'wired world', which cities would you name?
In a recent article by Business 2.0, such a list is given. The cities include:Bangalore, Barcelona, Helsinki, Hong Kong, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Stockholm, Talinn, Tokyo and yes - you guessed it - Israel's very own Tel Aviv.
Seeing Tel Aviv included on such a list, with the exclusion of major cities such as Sydney, Paris, Berlin and Rome, arouses a twinge of patriotric pride. Considering the fact that Israel is:
- less than 60 years old
- smaller than the size of Lake Michigan
- with an estimated population of around 7 million
- surrounded on all borders by unfriendly neighbors
- and has fought a war in every decade since it achieved independence

it is no small achievement that Tel Aviv is counted amongst the most technologically-friendly places to do business in the world.
